Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand: Prison Tacos and Rock Debates

The Morning X sits down with Alex Kapranos, the charismatic frontman of Franz Ferdinand, to settle a long-standing studio debate over how to actually pronounce his band's name. He opens up about the secret to winning over tough, disinterested festival crowds, explains why a common American breakfast staple completely puts Europe's soggy version to shame, and reveals his favorite local dining spot.
